Shinsekai Yori is one of my favorite anime of all time and I wanted to make a video with it. I really tried to think of a concept which I haven't seen with this source before and I didn't want to make a horror video, because there are other great horrorish videos with it. I hope you can enjoy it.
I really liked the atmosphere, it's very nice overall, I just think you spend too much time on one event at some points like the lesbian kiss and other stuff, sometimes it worked, sometimes it felt really slow. But the internal synch were really good and you had some interesting ones, actually 0:25 is so nice it makes me forget the audio cut xD. One last little thing, I didn't really like the duplicated scene to synch when they cry like at 1:15, it didn't look very clean.
All in all it's quite a solid IC with some slow phases here and there, I guess it was mostly a choice but I still think the pace could have been even better. Good job and good luck o/

First of all thank you for the feedback, you are the only one who is actually giving some great thoughts to all STIC videos. I appreciate it a lot!
I understand if other editors think the video is too slow since it's an editing contest and fast paced videos look more like work than slowish ones, but yeah it was kind of my choice to make it that slow. In my concept people should develope some thoughts and feelings to the protagonist and this can be only achieved by making the scenes take a long breath. If you show more scenes in the same amount of time, people have less time to think about the shown ones. Also the song draws a lot of breath as well and it creates aesthetics by taking your time with showing new scenes. So making it slow wasn't a choice between right and wrong, it was just an artistic intention.
Also there is an artistic reason why the scene at 1:15 doesn't look clean. I don't rly like to explain my own videos, but I just say that the world doesn't look clean if a precious person dies and your sight is full of tears cause of the pain while you are thinking about the person.
